BMW now says all new models based on its upcoming Neue Klasse platform will be pure battery-electric vehicles.
For some time, BMW has been waffling about its electric car intentions. CEO Oliver Zipse said back in May the company’s, scheduled to arrive in 2025, would underpin a 3 Series size car that is purely battery-electric, but hinted that other models based on that architecture might use internal combustion engines as well. Zipse also made it clear that other BMW models that are not based on the Neue Klasse platform would continue on with gasoline or diesel engines.
At the New York auto show this year, Zipse told the press, “When you look at the technology coming out, the EV push, we must be careful because at the same time, you increase dependency on very few countries. If someone cannot buy an EV for some reason but needs a car, would you rather propose he continues to drive his old car forever? If you are not selling combustion engines anymore, someone else will.
Zipse has hinted that there could still be internal combustion engines included in some models built on the Neue Klasse chassis much as the originalNow Germany’s reports senior officials at the company have confirmed that not only will the 3 Series size cars cars built on the Neue Klasse platform be battery-electrics, but that all variants — either larger or smaller — built on that chassis will be battery-electrics as well.
Having access to cells of various lengths gives manufacturers options, such as lowering the floor height of its cars or double-stacking two layers of cells to promote better cooling. Samsung SDI claims its new 46 mm diameter cells are more energy dense than the 4680 cells Tesla is using. The news report also says the Neue Klasse will use 800 volt architecture, a detail that has not been previously reported, according toBMW has been skittish about the EV revolution.
